"Of the Vietnamese restaurants in this report, Linh Son feels the most authentic, from the indoor decor to the food. I've eaten here several times over the years, and the food and service are consistently good. The pho is traditional, with a savory broth and a good balance of standard ingredients. The sandwiches and spring rolls, however, set Linh Son apart. The rolls are long and thin but densely packed with shrimp, a thick slice of pork and veggies, and are served with a side of tangy peanut dipping sauce. The banh mi sandwiches are the best in town. For about $4, a hearty baguette stuffed with grilled chicken and veggies — along with a recommended dab of chili paste — is a true lunch bargain."
